Does Freight Factoring Make Sense For My Business?

Are you still asking yourself, “What is freight factoring going to look like for my business, and is it right for me?

If so, remember that factoring bridges the gap between when you complete a load and when you get paid. With factoring, you’re prioritizing present-day cash flow in return for a small fee for the factoring company’s invoicing services.

Your relationship with a factoring company is entirely transactional. After the factoring company pays you for a particular load, it becomes their responsibility to collect payment from your customer. The invoice is closed only after the factoring company has collected their payment in full.

Factoring helps simplify your business cycle and relieve you of the billing and collection process (and headaches). If you’re looking for cash flow and back office support, freight factoring could be just the thing you need.

Finding the Right Freight Factoring Partner

Freight factoring has only grown in value and popularity as freight transportation becomes increasingly complicated by supply chain bottlenecks that render on-time deliveries more difficult than ever.

What’s worse, current supply chain breakdowns have made cash flow management slower and more unpredictable than ever before, particularly relative to pre-pandemic times.

Amid a sea of unpredictability, factoring can serve as an effective means to alleviate cash flow challenges and reduce the strain of invoice processing. With the right factoring partner, you can eliminate gaps within your cash flow, buy into complimentary freight factoring services tailored to your business, and streamline workloads and other core business services.
